3. "My worst fears from jury selection manifested themselves in the verdict. This jury needed someone to tell them exactly how Caylee died. Piecing it together from circumstantial evidence was not good enough for them. They wanted the answers on a silver platter, but we didn't have the evidence to serve it that way.

The fact that they didn't have any questions for the judge.

Mik took another bite and said, in passable Chimaera and to guffaws of laughter, "Salty delicious rat.""It's chicken," insisted one of the Shadows That Live. Karou wasn't sure which it was, but she was flapping her arms like wings, and even producing chicken bones to prove it."Author: Laini Taylor

6. "Angua picked out the bottle and looked at the label."C.M.O.T. Dibbler's Genuine Authentic Soggy Mountain Dew," she read. "He's going to die!
